This was the first weekend of owning it! I bought it to try out inboards since I just sold my speedboat, My plan was to cruise it to finish the year and buy a newer version but im really happy with it, Except I hate the old school steering wheel!

Now I only had it in the water one time to realize that this older boat is more fun then any i/o I ever owned!! so I spent some money to make it more usauble! new tower, speakers, cd player , I just got board racks in the mail today! So far I surfed using my kneeboard as a joke but I pulled it off! Wakeboarding is a freaking trip behind this boat! My speedboat it got boring, Now my g/f is lucky to even have me in the boat! She became one hell of a driver!

This is what gets to yank the boat around

Welcome to the forum and welcome to Supra. You have had your first shot of inboards you will find it is a life long addiction you can never go back. Your boat is sweet what a great find.
Wow that SunSport looks great! I think my 87 has a bifferent steering wheel. How have you been weighting her down? Keep postin the pics they are great!!! More lovely ladies please you are a lucky man! :D
Actaully I got on craigslist and bought a ton of wieght bench weightsso that I could distribute the weight in different areas of the boat! lol It actaully works pretty dang good! Plus with my friends in the boat I was really happy with the wake and even more impressed with I tried surfing with a freakin knee board,
Anybody got any recommendations on wake surf boards? Im going to purchase one for nevxt summer but to be honest with ya I don't exactly what style I want, Is there a big difference in beg and novice boards?
As far as women on the boat, Ill post up some pics from last year in my celebrity status 201 tonight lol
There are two styles here is a really good link
http://www.howtowakesurf.com/Which_Board.jsp
I ride an INland Surfer 4-skim which is a skim board. I would look at trickboardz.com, and check out the general store at wakeoutlaws.com for the premium gear. TripleX is another cheaper brand you can find on ebay. Phase5 is great too but the Danielo pro is pretty advanced I would try a Prop or Oogle if you are 200lbs+.
Great looking Sunsport... Is that a Krypt tower you put on her??? It looks great too!!!
I use the rear ski locker and under the rear bench seat for hidden sacs (350 & 250lbs ea) for wakeboarding, but to get the best surf wave I add a 750lb sac on the floor.
I have FreshAirExhaust.com to silence the boat and eliminate exhaust, it really helps a ton. I was using my little 4'5" skimstyle wakesurfer to belly board. I have seen people sit on the board, that looks like fun too.
Here a sick video of an Inland Surfer rider ripping behind the WakeOutlaws.com Centurion Enzo this is about as big as wakes can get. Incredible riding.

Im not sure if your susposed to pull tubes with it but we did and it made tubing hilarious because it pulls the tub up in the air like a boat and gives you more control of your tube, Flips you a lot but its fun!
Hell this boat had room for us to put are kayaks in to go up to the river exit!! I just wish I bought this boat in the begining vs cuddy speedboat because its so versital:D
170lbs, Thanks for the links I def got some great info from them and the vid was just freakin sick!Quote:

Any trouble banging you head on that thing? would there be room for lights and speakers??????
im 6ft and there is plenty of room, I have been debating on the aerial light bar with 4 polk speakers but im not 100 percent sure I want to give up all that space because when I got the kayaks and tube on the boat I use the upper bars and swing over the motor cover to get to the rear of the boat!Quote:

Trick Boardz are now asylum Boardz http://www.asylumboardz.com
Our boards are now foam core fiberglass but still have the Trick Boardz shape. They are still just as maneuverable yet stable, finned or finless, and even faster and quicker. We currently have the Surf Skate large and the Mojo Grande available in almost any color. The Mojo is good for riders up to about 250# and the Surf Skate to about 210#. Both work well with smaller riders. Since they have the same bottom shape they are great for cross training.
Beware of using too much solid ballast. Use water ballast primarily and solid ballast only to fill in the small areas. For more ballast info go to http://www.howtowakesurf.com/Ballast.jsp
dshaff for boarding you want to weight the boat evenly, but for surfing the point is to make the boat lean to one side, called 'listing'. One 750 sac along the engine on the port (passanger) side does the trick.
Larry Thanks for dropping by, hope you arent getting to many alerts from me hehe! I am very very very tempted to try out your surf skate and I ALMOST bought your combo offer for both boards.
Great looking ride! Looks like our boats could be twins! What lake are the pictures from?Quote:

Twins - My friend has an 87 comp with the same colors as ours. Only 3 like that I've seen!
